New Journey Vol.3 Ch.4 “The Lost Scrolls”
In the new chapter of the story, Nikki and his team accidentally meet Tu Tart in the wasteland.
After learning that the destination of their trip was the Wind Valley Tribe, Tuta expressed his doubts about the abnormal behavior of the current "Wind Talker" Inanna.
Behind Inanna, perhaps there is a bigger secret hidden...

Main Story “Pigeon Forest”
Volume 2 Chapter 16 “The Gate of the Old Days”
The old door, a new mainline chapter update.
The dark purple mist shrouded the carrier pigeon forest, waiting to welcome the return of the gods amidst the suffocating noise.
All hymns shall be dedicated to the gods, and all vile snoopers shall be rejected by the forest,
Human beings are never allowed to step into the feast of the return of the gods.
Is the end of the fog and nightmare a fork in the road or a way back?
On July 20th, follow the moonlight with Nikki to explore the truth of the past.

I have just stood before the open window of my bedroom and I have breathed in deeply all the honeysuckle-perfumed air, the sunshine, the snowdrops of winter, the carouses of spring, the primroses, the crooning pigeons, the trills of the birds, the entire procession of soft winds and cool smells of frail colors and petal-textured skies, the knotted snake greys of old vine roots, the vertical shoots of young branches, the dank smell of old leaves, of wet earth, of torn roots, and fresh-cut grass, winter, summer, and fall, sunrises and sunsets, storms and lulls, wheat and chestnuts, wild strawberries and wild roses, violets and damp logs, burnt fields and new poppies.

The Altar of Eccles Cakes
(updated 21 Oct 2023, for Grain Offerings example) (updated 21 Nov 2023, for link to First Temptation)
The mysterious plate of Eccles cakes. Are they really to "calm people down?' And why do they just ...disappear? They must be there for a reason?
Yes, they certainly are. They are just the first course of a fascinating meal on offer in S2.
Tumblr media
So far, most of the meta around the Eccles cakes has focused on the meaning of their name. Eccles is an old name for church. We could view it as Aziraphale trying to calm Crowley down. They are also known as "squashed fly cakes." The white outside and the black inside could be seen as a metaphor relating to Gabriel. Or it hints at the Roger the Stunt Fly, that contain Gabriel's memories, flying around the book shop, who's purpose we don't find out about until the end. There is even a link to the 1650 Sorry Dance that Aziraphale mentioned, in that were banned by Oliver Cromwell for being pagan! (Did I get that right? I've not kept the post link.)
[Edit: They also represent the First Temptation as Jesus fasts in the wilderness for 40 days before the Entry into Jerusalem at the start of the Passion narratives, where bread was made from stones.]
Take another look at the blocking in this shot. The dark horse statue, representing Crowley - even wearing his sunglasses! - has the placating plate of Eccles cakes placed before it, in supplication. Yeah, it didn't work this time, but it's the thought that counts. What we have here is Aziraphale making an Sin offering to the altar of Crowley, to ask for atonement in advance for what he has done (taking Gabriel in.)
Once you frame it in that reference, you realize its not the only altar offering made during S2. It also adds a bit more depth to some of the other scenes, where they have all been mentioned already in some way, but it certainly helps to explain the Eccles cakes!
Firstly, we need to mention the main types of altar offering that are made:
Burnt offerings - for general atonement of sins and for expression of devotion to God. It could be a bull, a ram, goat, or a bird in the form of a dove or pigeon. Such as this magnificent example in the Job minisode.
Tumblr media
Aziraphale certainly devoted himself to the sin of gluttony on that occasion. (hang on, that didn't come out the right way, did it...?) But he was still devoted to God, despite his nocturnal conversation with Crowley while they waited out the storm in the cellar.
Grain offerings - a voluntary expression of devotion to God. This was grain prepared in different way, but always seasoned, unsweetened and unleavened. Recall at Gomorrah Lot offered to prepare the visiting angels unleavened bread as part of a meal.
Originally when I wrote this post I didn't think I had any Grain offering examples, but a few days later as I was writing my post on The Ineffable Ducks I realized where the missing S2 Grain offering was - in S2E1, when Crowley yells at the Azerbaijani spies in St James Park. The ducks are usually offered bread, which is leavened with yeast, so technically not quite correct, but when you review all the instances of feeding the ducks crumbs or bread crumbs it certainly fits. Unless you are Crowley, and you'd rather have the current state of quiet "frozen peas" between Heaven and Hell. See my Ineffable Ducks post for an elaboration.
Tumblr media
Peace offering - This could be cattle, sheep or goat without defect, but the main purpose to was consecrate a meal between two or more parties before God and share that meal in a fellowship of peace and commitment to each other's future prosperity.
You know where we see one of these? At the eldritch ball!
Tumblr media
I did see a nice meta about the vol-au-vents recently, mainly about their name, but I don't seem to have saved it, and can't find it again. They are usually filled with chicken (a bird) and the eldritch ball is ostensibly the shopkeepers monthly meeting, after all, where they are there to talk about their mutual prosperity in the future. Just so happens its also an opportunity for Aziraphale to talk to Crowley about their future...oh, and Nina and Maggie's, as well, of course!
Sin offering - atonement or unintentional sin. It would have the elements of a Burnt offering, as well as a Peace offering, but not be shared. These are what the plate of Eccles cakes are, so they were never meant to be eaten. They were an olive branch to Crowley regarding Gabriel, but he turned it down. So they softly and suddenly vanish away, never to be met with again.*
There is one more altar offering that needs to mentioned, another Sin offering. The one Crowley consumed in Elspeth's place in The Resurrectionists minisode in 1832 Edinburgh - the laudanum.
Tumblr media
It pretty clear to most observers that Crowley did a good and "kind deed" for Elspeth here, which angered Hell in the process and then he was dragged forcibly downstairs to be duly punished for it. There is a post here from atlas-hope that suggests this is a parallel of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, drinking the cup of God's wrath to absolve Christians of their sins. They point out the laudanum is even poured into a goblet. Crumbs, that's a hefty bit of spiritual lifting, dear demon. What were you thinking, Anthony J. Crowley? It might cast that conversation you had with the carpenter back on the mountain in a new light, or least make us look back twice at it. (Plenty of time for contemplation before S3 arrives...)
Remember, a Sin offering has elements of both a Burnt offering and a Peace offering: a giant Crowley gets Elspeth to promise to devote the rest of her life to being "properly good, not just pretendy good" and the money Aziraphale is forced to donate to her ensures her future prosperity. Sounds like a win-win situation there, Elspeth!
[*OK, if you don't get the ref, its from the Hunting of the Snark. The Snark represents happiness, a most elusive thing to find, and more often than not its a fruitless search, and you find the terrible Boojum instead. During the third verse the Baker recounts the lecture his uncle gives him about how to hunt the Snark, and to be aware of his fate if he is unlucky enough to encounter a Boojum. It kind of fits in with S2, I feel.]

New Journey Vol.3 Ch.2
“The Long Night Will Be Bright”
In the new chapter of the story, Nikki was awakened by the footsteps of the allied troops gathering.
It was learned from Favnir that the Tyr coalition was heading towards Ashe City, but the main force of the allied forces was not in the city.
Ashe City was undoubtedly facing a crisis
At this moment, Nikki remembered the gem in the box, maybe it could buy time for Agata...

Main Story “Melson”
Volume 2 Chapter 14 “Urban Forest”
“Follow the Wind's Path” City Forest, a new mainline chapter update.
Human beings living in an industrialized civilization,
After being away from the protection of the God of Nature, maybe I realized the beauty of the first inch of sunshine,
When praying devoutly to the hand-painted tree of life in the gathering place isolated from the hustle and bustle,
Is it possible to get a real response from the gods ?
The swarming crowd screamed and angered, and the order and rules gradually failed at this moment.
All of a sudden, a gentle breeze blows in, and the noise passes by like a tide receding suddenly.
A figure walked down slowly against the crowd, looked over from a distance,
There was a moment of surprise in his eyes, and then a gentle smile slowly appeared
"Get out of here with me."
On February 16th, go to Myerson, the capital of the Apple Federation, with Nikki to investigate the truth behind the chaos.
There is also a beautiful chapter set [Forest Light Sound] waiting for you to make.

Stream-of-consciousness thoughts for Trigun Vol. 2, Chapter 1 below.
Chapter 1: Blood and Thunder
WOLFWOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!
I love how intense he looks compared to Vash, who seems to be smiling just a bit. Of course he would. He has a buddy to fight at his back.
"More than just shoes," huh? What, does he make crazy strappy leather body suits, too? Hmmmmmm???
Dramatic Vash title page pose!
Tumblr media
Oh, shoot. I remember that fountain from '98. That's... a bad sign.
Meryl: "What a lovely day...." Me: "Not for long."
I do appreciate the pigeon floof, though. Wait, how did pigeons get here? Did they import them? Are these actually not-pigeons but are more closely related to Thomases? Are... are they a type of WORM??!??!!
Oh, Vash. He wants to rest, but he's keeping one eye open.
NM, he's decided rest is the best option.
OMG, this page! Rem with the halo imagery over her. The way her form dominates the page but blends into Vash's, as if she's a bigger part of him than he himself is. The way he seems to be falling through the panels. Gorgeous.
Tumblr media
Aaand the moment's gone.
At least they're apologizing?
Wait, there's no water in that fountain, is there?
Goshdarnit, Vash! Don't put that in your mouth! You don't know where it's been!
Yeah, you're not gonna be able to talk while pulling off this maneuver. But I'll allow it.
Hahahaha, once they've properly apologized, he decides to reward them with ice cream. Or maybe just reward himself and reward them as a byproduct, but whatever.
VASH THE STAMPEDE!!! You, of all people, do NOT get to tell Milly (OR ANYONE ELSE) she is not acting her age! Freaking dork....
I love how calmly Meryl is like, "Here's the cash. Get us all ice cream." Although I'm only counting five??
Oh.
Meryl just won like 500 brownie points for that move.
There are few things in life that can't be made to seem at least a little better if one has ice cream.
Tumblr media
Vash looks deeply saddened that the girl left.
But it seems like he's moved on pretty fast. No point dwelling on it, right?
Shit. Shitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshit.
Gods, I'm sure people have debated his designs in both '98 and Stampede, but here? Legato looks like a twink. A twink hiding in a big emo jacket with shoulder pads he stole from the '80s and then fed steroids.
Annnnd he's eating a hot dog. I'm not gonna read too much into that. Too late. And now you can, too.
Tumblr media
Seriously, though. Of all the foods to import, you'd think someone would leave hot dogs behind. Or not. They do make use of the junk parts of the animal, and I guess you can't be too picky when you live in a desert wasteland.
The way they're having this conversation is suspicious.
Tumblr media
Fountain confirmed empty.
Milly's danger sense is tingling.
I just want to point out that, when Milly says Vash's face looks frightening, this is the last expression we see him showing.
Tumblr media
He's putting on the glasses. It's serious time. He might have to shoot someone, and he definitely doesn't want anyone else to catch a glimpse of his intentions here.
Wow. The level of force Vash shows in his wording here. It's like he's playing a card that says, "I know I'm superior to you, and given the situation, I'm going to make dead sure you know it, too."
Tumblr media
"That monster," huh? Harsh words. Justified, perhaps. But harsh. All of this is harsh coming from such a staunch pacifist.
I just want to point out that all of this is happening after the July incident. For no reason whatsoever, I'm sure.
Legato... PLEASE don't make shitty decisions with your life. What you're suggesting is not the sort of thing likely to end in a win scenario for you....
Ok, so I'm sure some of this is because I've watched '98 and have a better feel for Legato than some... but I LOVE the imagery of him handing food to a hungry child and giving them a pat on the head. It's wrong on so many levels... but it's also a good reminder that people who are capable of absolutely terrible things are also capable of at least presenting a veneer of simple kindness.
Glad that scene upset Vash quite a bit, too.
Assuming Legato isn't bluffing, even Vash would struggle to contain that much slaughter in such a short span of time, I think. And right now, he's got a whole fountain in between him and Legato.
Vash has been gradually losing his mask through this whole conversation. Milly noticed it first, but the kids and Meryl have noticed it by now, too.
This outfit needs more straps.
Tumblr media
Yyyyeeeaaaahhhh, if they fight in the busy town square there, the casualty number is gonna be stupid high.
WTF, he gave Vash a quest?? I don't like this quest. This quest is gonna be full of Bad Things.
I LOVE how they're all in silhouette behind Legato there, but with all their forms blended together to make this ominous amorphous blob of eyes and limbs and darkness. I want a clean version without the text balloons.
Tumblr media
Sir. Sir, your bag is leaking. Sir, you might want to take a look at that. Sir.
Ok, now I have legitimate questions about the Shoemaker instead of bullshit ones.
I, too, would panic if someone I knew suddenly literally lost their head. Not sure I'd go screaming into the town square, but I would definitely be out of sorts.
Nightow didn't even have to show us what was in the bag to make his point.
Tumblr media
Dude, that's an American coin. Hang on a second.... Ok, found it. I'm just gonna put some information on it here if anyone wants to go through it.
I'm pretty sure I recognize that silhouette...
Thinking on the title of the chapter again. Thunder is often seen as the first sign of an oncoming storm. Fitting.
I wanted to go through more than one chapter, but I feel like I have a LOT of notes on this one, and those pop-out posts inevitably take a good chunk of time, so this will do for tonight.
